an auto luxer

Project description

inspired by lumen <https://github.com/anishathalye/lumen> but written for *nix machines. autolux takes a screenshot every few seconds, figures out the ‘average value’ of the resulting image (the luminence) and changes the screen brightness based on your screen’s contents.

installation

pip install autolux

dependencies

  • python2 (not python3)

  • imagemagick (for screenshots + determining average brightness)

  • xdotool (finding focused window)

  • xbacklight (for setting display brightness)

usage

# runs autolux
autolux

# show luminence prediction model
# requires matplotlib
autolux --vis

# color is the input luminence. (5K - 65K, lower is darker)
# x axis is hour (0 - 24, with UTC offset applied)
# y axis is predicted brightness level from the model (0 - 100%)

# the red regions represent low luminence screen content and therefore
# have a higher predicted brightness. the blue regions are high luminence
# content with a lower predicted brightness
